Hi
We are using cobbler for provisioning and spacewalk for management. I am now needing to
use proxies to be able to centrally manage hosts but also allow local installs.
I have setup a spacewalk proxy but experience the following issue, during install the
client gets the ks through the proxy and anaconda starts. Stage2 is downloaded and the
repo data is retrieved again all through the proxy without problem. The issue is that when
the actual rpm transaction starts the packages can't be downloaded it just sits asking
to retry. Strangly if I get another terminal on the client I can wget the rpm using the
same URL that anaconda seems to have the issue with so I am a bit stumped. If I put a
proxypass rule on the proxy so that it points directly to the server, bypassing squid, the
install works although nothing is caches so slightly defeats the point.
Any clues anyone as I am tearing my hair out here as it makes no sense to me.
How do others achieve this?
Thanks
